\textbf{Figure 1.} (A) Wax worms purchased commercially that fail to produce silk casing when transfered to a Petri dish. (B) Wax worms reared in the lab produce a thick silk casing when removed from the primary culture vessel. (C)  Juvenile (Ju), adult female (AF), and adult male (AM) orange spotted cockroaches are easily distinguished from each other. Juveniles lack wings while adult females have vestigial forewings that cover the first few abdominal segments. Adult males have wings that extend the full length of their body, but they do not fly. Pictured here in a standard 100 mm Petri dish. (B) (D)  Typical site of injection to the right of the midline along the base of the third tergum (arrowhead) from the posterior. Note that sharpened pipette tips can be used for inoculation, instead of needles.(C) Wax worms purchased commercially that fail to produce silk casing when transfered to a Petri dish.
